His big ideas are well paced in a digestible fashion. It is well researched and referenced, allowing us to dive more deeply where we wish. The quality and diversity of the quotes also enriches the experience and broadens the benefit.”

“I’m impressed! This book deserves to be read and re-read. Most books I’m asked to review rehash old ideas, often taking away rather than adding value. Your book is a shining exception to that rule. I honestly don’t know how you packed so much solid value in such a tiny package. What I love most is that you don’t oversimplify the skills and attitudes it takes to create results. AND you make those skills and attitudes appealing and accessible. I’m honored to know you, my friend.”
